    How brainwashed are you?

    There’s a lot of pressure to conform though, especially for this example. I was penalized at first when I stopped standing for the pledge of allegiance during the Iraq war at the beginning of school. One (substitute) teacher made me write an essay about it. I was 13. You can call me unpatriotic-...

    Bids Won vs Lost | A discussion on bidding and quoting

    Yesterday I had to drive by a newly lion-tailed silver maple I cabled a couple years ago. This was on a dead end street a family member lives on and I’ve climbed almost all the trees on the road at this point. It kill me because the tree is now way more hazard prone- what a complete waste of...

    How brainwashed are you?

    I’m incredibly brainwashed. A product of my culture. Leftist based on where the stork dropped me? I try to look at things objectively but I have a pretty strong bias. I thought we covered this moon landing conspiracy on an earlier thread of yours? Personally I loved this thread title, I laughed...

    Covid Close To You

    Got to know one of their reporters very well, she shadowed me for a day touring Helene damage. A right good bloke and did her homework!

    Vandals. Grrr!

    One of the most vigorous response growths I’ve seen. Should be planted in urban environments more! Great in places where ailanthus dominates. I love this. Amazing. I did pull one catalpa off a house after Helene (with two cranes, hilariously, butt cut pictured below) and another just around...

    Vandals. Grrr!

    Sorry about your tree. Being a healthy catalpa, I think it might still stand a chance. Honestly I bet that troubled teen is just a couple conversations with a cool patient arborist away from wanting to get into tree work. Probably just bored with no direction and no sense of purpose and hangs...

    I don’t know about that. I think it has represented the top of the military food chain since WWII, but realistically I think we are slipping fast in that regard as well. I think there’s some countries with democratic governments that seem to carry the will of the people much more directly. Less...

    TAKEN: Used Stihl Saw Bars, 20” and 36” - Free!

    This all rings a bell. Was making those same chains myself for a few years. Fun way to spend an extra hour at the shop. Generous of you to give away the bars! Wish I could use em.

    GOP fascists will literally send army troops to American cities to zip tie children, for fears based on footage taken years ago from S America mistakenly reported on FOX as being in Portland, rather than addressing their tanking economy. *You will not be rewarded for licking the boots*

    I always think of the Schoolhouse Rock parody on the Simpsons. Worth a rewatch. Matt Groening was a genius, and certainly affected my worldview from a young age… “There’s a lot of flag burners who have got to much freedom.. I wanna make it legal for policeman to beat em, cause theres limits to...

    Your party controls every branch of the government. No one wants to take any responsibility for their own actions. Sad.

    He’s gonna use the insurrection act to send troops against the will of the states. Very cute, very fascist. Any libertarians out there still liking the direction we are headed?

    I like big butt(ress) and I cannot lie

    I’m in the middle of conducting some independent research right now on trees over 50” DBH, which according to US Forest Service classification denotes “Giant” trees. I’m doing this for clarification on storm survival as it relates to Helene, but also just general biomechanics… and there might be...

    It’s a loose ideology based on an opposition to fascism. Basically if you love freedom (like I do), you’re anti-fascist. Unless you just want freedom for a certain subset of the population and want to police citizens against having free will and all that cool stuff.

    Sowing discord and mistrust in the medical establishment. A confused public is a weak public. Same with eroding trust in media (which was easy), universities (a little bit of a hard sell), and the government (who trusts the govt anyway). I don’t think maga movies are going to have the same je ne...

    Clumsy. Would have accepted y’all (I know south of the mason dixon makes me biased towards that), or ‘youse guys’ for the east coastal elites, and many of us would probably have even understood your particular PA local version, ‘yinz’.

    I don’t particularly mourn the guy - he said really terrible things - and he has called for violence against others. For instance, he condoned violence against Nancy Pelosi - a couple days after her husband was attacked viciously with a hammer, he says “By the way, if some amazing patriot out...
